I saw a girl on campus with a Rose tattoo on her arm that said, "Big Fat Delicious" and was basically just right for her. I thought, great for her for having self esteem when the whole world is telling you that you are not cute if you aren't skinny, but then I started to think, she has this tattooed on her for the rest of her life, and what if she loses weight down the road, to become a healthy weight. Even if that healthy is still 250lbs compared to whatever she was.

I typed in Big Fat Delicious on Google, and it was interesting what came up. A lady's blog about being anti to fat-haters, talking about how she'd never get a lap band or anything. I guess it's your right to eat whatever in America. And I do understand her perspective, from reading some of her posts. But I just feel so sad when people don't want to show self restraint enough to get healthy. The same for heavy smokers and drinkers.

In the end we pick our own poisons, I guess. Our organs will fail in 60 years no matter what preventions we try. It is a call to live life to the fullest right now while we've got it.
